Summary
Stephen Hough joins the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Otto Tausk at Bristol Beacon for Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto alongside works by Clyne, Janáček and Strauss.
Why it's fantastic
Sir Stephen Hough takes on the formidable technical demands of Rachmaninov’s third concerto, a piece often cited as the most difficult in the repertoire. It anchors a programme of vivid storytelling, ranging from Strauss’s swashbuckling heroics to the dark folk legends and cinematic textures that define Janáček’s orchestral writing.
